Ivory Coast to learn from Israel how to combat terrorism

The Ivory Coast is eager to learn from Israel’s experience in fighting the universal scourge of terrorism, Guillaume Kigbafori Soro, the president of The Ivory Coast’s National Assembly told president Reuven Rivlin on Wednesday..

Soro and his delegation came to Israel to strengthen bi-lateral relations and cooperation, and to study how to cope with the growing threat of terrorism, which until recently was something with which the Ivory Coast was unfamiliar, until it erupted in neighboring Mali.

Soro attributed the surge in terrorism to world wide unemployment, noting that today in many countries young people are increasingly effecting change and the decision making process.
